Odds of Leafs drafting an Ontarian are what. 1 in like 500 billion?

montreal not trading for yakupov. we don't need a small winger, we need a big centre.

this is why grigorenko is perfect.

the crappy thing about this lottery is if cbj wins they take the yak, edm takes murray, and mtl takes grigorenko.

now edmonton probably moves pick, that team takes yak, cbj takes grigorenko 2nd, and montreal gets either galchenyuk or forsberg. not too bad, but grigorenko is favourable imo.

Mathew Dumba sliding and I can't figure out why.

maybe cause hes dumb

Canada national team will be without best sniper in the league at the WC. Ship the medalz!!!

Is Duthie dreaming up a scenario where Yakupov falls to TO?

HAHA

Stay classy Montreal

If the Jackets draft Murray, I'm going to kill everyone in a 3 mile radius of where ever Howson happens to be at that moment

sick. maybe mtl won't name coach until after draft. if they get grigor, roy is coach.

i just checked for that account on twitter. it's been deleted. probably a fake.

Some of his teammates welcomed him on twitter last night. He was probably forced to delete it after his tweet raised a **** storm.

THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!!!!!

who should the jackets draft? #theyneedeverything

they don't need any russians.

hopefully

ya hoping cbj steers clear of russians.

ideally both griggs and galchen are gone in the t4 so toronto can't get a centre.

yakupov
murray
grigo
galchen
toronto probably takes forsberg unless burke doesn't think he has enough truculence and may opt for someone else.

also wouldn't mind seeing toronto trade a lot to edmonton for the yak, only to see him fizzle

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Toronto's pick is in play. Burke doesn't have time to wait for a winning product to evolve naturally; he's in do-or-die mode next season, more or less.

if leafs miss playoffs burke is gone.

the funny thing is the new gm will come in with a fairly solid team and they may make the playoffs the next year and win a game or two and that gm will be seen as a savior even tho he did nothing really.

This actually might be the most movement we'll ever see within the lottery picks at a draft. Moving down for Edmonton makes so much sense; they need roster pieces outside of their vaunted triumvirate up front and Klefbom's the only real blueline prospect they have in the pipeline, imo. Murray over Yakupov at #1 is ldo pure spew but if the Oilers could take Murray at 2nd or 3rd and add a couple pieces as well, they'd have to seriously consider that.

I think an Oilers-Habs swap of the 1st and 3rd overall picks that includes a piece or two moving Edmonton's way (Josh Gorges? Lars Eller?) is a very real possibility. I also think Toronto is one of the most likely Rick Nash destinations and any Jackets-Leafs deal involving Nash will almost certainly see the 5th overall pick shipped to Columbus in return.

Y'know what, those are my bold predictions: Yakupov won't be an Oiler, Nash will be a Leaf and Columbus will pick twice in the top 5.
